Bitmojis in the Classroom

Who doesn't love using Bitmojis? I know I do, and I love to find fun ways to incorporate them into the classroom. They seem to always make my students smile!

Here are two projects I have recently been working on.

1. Positive Student Notes-

I am a firm believer in handwritten notes of encouragement! So what's better than adding my Bitmoji to some note cards I can send home with my students?!

I created them in Slides, and then I like to download to PowerPoint and print 2 or 4 notecards to a page. You can duplicate the note card you want or print all of them in color or on a variety of fun colored paper. 

 Click the photo for a copy of the ones I have already created. Edit them with your Bitmoji or make some of your own!

Love encouraging a growth mindset and student's setting goals!

 You can also order your own notepads with your Bitmojis from Office Depot if you want. :) 

2. Book Basket Labels-

My classroom library is a very important part of my classroom, so I thought why not add my Bitmoji there too! Students can also infer why I chose the Bitmoji I did for each genre. 

Click the photo to grab a copy and see the Bitmojis I used. 

I'm hoping to build students up and make them smile with my Bitmoji in my classroom. How are you using your Bitmoji in the classroom? Please share!!

Student Book Recommendations

I love sharing my current reads and books with students, but I also find it super powerful for students to recommend books to each other and share their voice!

Want an easy way for student to fill out a Book Recommendation? Stick up a QR code or a few in your classroom library and as student return their book they can easily fill one out. 

I used Google Forms to create a simple and fast form for students to fill out.

You can take a look at the form and make a copy here.

I have a special spiral bookshelf where students can place books that have a recommendation. Then, once a week I download the responses and upload the Google Sheet to our Google Classroom. Students can easily sort by title, author, or genre and read the recommendations to see if any books sound like one they want to try.

I'd love to hear how students recommend books to one another in your classroom!

Happy Reading!
